5524 Miller Trunk Highway, Hermantown, MN 55811

The subject is located in northern Hermantown along Minnesota Highway 194, immediately west of its intersection with U.S. Highway 53/Miller Trunk Highway. The location is near the western extent of the more intensively developed Miller Trunk Highway corridor and represents a transition between established commercial and employment uses to the east and a lower-density mixture of residential, commercial, and undeveloped land extending west along Highway 194. Highway 194 and Miller Trunk Highway provide good regional accessibility to Duluth, Hermantown, the Iron Range, and communities west and northwest of the Duluth metropolitan area. Development in the immediate subject area is less concentrated than the established commercial development farther east and south along Miller Trunk Highway. Surrounding uses include commercial and service businesses, contractor and employment-related uses, light industrial development, residential properties, and vacant or partially developed tracts....
